hourThe trick to these brownies is to have the least amount of air possible. So don’t use a whisk.
Ingredients
- Brownies
3/4 c unsalted butter
1 1/2 c sugar
1/2 c light brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 egg yolk
1 Tbs vanilla
1/4 tsp baking soda
2 Tbs cornstarch
1 1/2 c cocoa powder
1 c all purpose flour
1/4 c vegetable oil
- Chocolate Brownie Ganache Topping
1 1/2 c semi sweet chocolate chips
6 Tbs butter
1/2 c whole milk
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Prepare a greased metal pan with parchment paper in the bottom. You can use a glass baking dish, but know it will cook a little harder along the edges. If you use a ceramic pan, it will take a little longer to cook.
- Mix all the dry ingredients into a bowl (baking soda, cornstarch, cocoa, and flour).
- In another bowl, mix with a spatula, the sugar, vanilla, eggs and butter. Then fold the oil in gently. Take care not to mix too much air in to the batter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and fold in gently.
- Add batter to the prepared baking dish.
- Bake brownies 24-26 minutes
- When done, remove from oven and cool on a rack.
- Make Brownie Ganache
- While the brownies are cooling, make the ganache.
- Add all the ingredients (chocolate chips, milk, and butter) to a double boiler. Heat on medium-low and stir until the chocolate is melted and the ganache is smooth.
- Pour the ganache over the brownies, and top with sprinkles or mini m&m’s.
- Put in the refrigerator to set up the ganache and finish cooling the brownies.
Notes
- These are really rich brownies.
